2007 Best & Worst: Movie trailers

Best trailer for a mediocre movie: 'I'm Not There' It was an interesting idea for a movie — don’t try to synthesize all of Bob Dylan’s personas, myths, legends, stories into one grand narrative — split them up. Keep them separate. Explore each of them on their own. Let different people embody the different sides of the man. And photograph it beautifully. When that idea becomes an actual two-hour-plus movie it works, but just barely. As fodder for a two-minute trailer, however — clever, beautiful, intriguing.
